Steve Sell s email is steve@marlimar-uk.wanadoo.co.uk He has always been helpful with me. you could get a new spindle turned by an engineering company, it would have to be the right grade of steel though. (I don't know what grade though?) Stephen Bisby.

Picture number 47 is Martin Gilbert. Stephen.

My entrys in and I am looking forward to riding there again mud, rocks and streams, all very natural. This club always held one of the best falcon rounds. I rode in the Red rose twinshock trial in August and found it great, it was a shame it rained so much but it did improve for the second lap. I got my entry form from the Hillsborough mcc web site. Steve. 8ugger, due to an unforseen family situation I wont be able to ride now.

Number 11 is John Lampkin, there is another photo of him a bit later in the same section on page 3 in the Fantics section riding with the same number 56. Number 14 the rider crossing the river a wild guess John Shirt senior???? Number 16 photo is John Renyolds, i think it is the Allan Jefferies trial i rode very near him that year and the silencer broke off his Bultaco and i think he put it in someones garden to retreve later- his bike sounded fab later in the event up a long hill climb!! Number 17 photo is Roy Parmer, same trial. Number 18 is Chris Sutton. differant trial to the others above. Stephen.

My carb is a 28mm mikuni but the bike is a 250cc, main jet is a 180 (did use a 190) and the pilot is a 3.0 (did use a 2.5) needle is 5L3 on the mid grove and the slide is a 2.5 Good to know about the OKO longlegscanbeusful, Steve.

Picture 68 of Mick Andrews, i rode the scott in 1989 and mick is entered in the program at 100 on a yamaha 250, i was number 143 stephen.

I think picture 76 is Graham Tales and picture 77 looks like Glen Scholey but hopefully someone else can be more sure? Stephen.

Picture 119 looks like Graham Tales from yorkshire and yes on a bultaco, i dont know the year or where?

Picture 70 is Andy Hipwell from the Buxton area, Derbyshire.

The rider in numbers 25 & 26 is Steve Saunders.

The rider in number 112 looks like Chris Clarke. Stephen.

The rider in pictures 8&9 is Tony Scarlett his riding number is 54 same as in the first picture at the top of this page. the rider in picture 10 is Harold Crawford i think and it looks to be the same event but i dont know when and where. Stephen.

Photo number 69 is Steve Saunders and pos 1982?

Hi Mudyman, I have not used motul transoil before but if its ok for the clutch as well as the gearbox i would think you would be ok. I find when i try a light gear oil i get a lot of clutch slip but when i put in a 20w50 multi grade from the local car spares shop it is great, i have a standard ossa clutch but when i next change the plates i am going to try a barnet clutch which i think you can use a lighter weight oil. Steve.

I have a gripper 250 which has a different case (smaller) and i put in 900ml so i just drain all the oil that is in and then pour 900 ml through the alloy cover, i dont worry about the level. Steve.

Fantastic filming and how you have trained the two honey bees to carry a camera is amazing I also like the views of the riders on the moorland crossing, brings back good memories of why i liked the scottish. Thanks Stephen.

I have done 12 or 13 ssd trials (lost count?) yes most of the sections are rocky stream beds but if the weather has been dry ish there wont be much water. There are sections bases on rock slabs again stream based and as the photo above some are gravelly worn paths up steep hillsides. I havent done the scottish for 12 or 13 years but the last two rides i carried an old 35mm compact camera with me to record the views we encounted on the route because to get to the top of some of the hills would take you forever on foot, it was a privilege to compete and i have a lot of good memories. If you are considering having a go do so! Stephen.

Picture number 4 is Adrian Clarke and pictures 5&6 is Tony Scarlett and i am watching him on the left next to Adrian and Gerald Richardson. I am guessing 1983 or 84 and pos Allan Jefferies, or Wainright? Stephen.

Picture number 3 i think is Mark Kent? dont know where or when but a good photo! Stephen

The picture of Rob Shepard above (Number 18) his riding number is 51 and on page 1 number 13 he is in the same brema one piece suit and riding number 51 and you have that event as the Allan Jefferies 1978, i think its the same event. Stephen.

Picture 30 is Walt bullock and Brian Pearce on a Yamaha, i dont know where or when though. Stephen.

The rider in number 37 looks just like the rider in number 36 posted on 26th march (Peter Cartwright?) 1979 Northern Experts. Good pictures!! Stephen.

yes i can not see any advantage of no seat, my ossa is as like an office chair but i once sat on a 500 ht ariel now that was comfy!

Image nunber 75 has my dad and mum and grandma watching, dad is in the long coat next to gordons throttle hand and my mum just behind with dark hair and grandma is next to the guy with helmet and glasses. Stephen Bisby. (Stephen, Spectator watching is cheating if you're related to them !!! Cheers, Deryk. PS. Don't forget you can have a copy of the photograph for them if you want.)

yes three grannys and three grandsons watching? I like the goggles but no head protection?
